On Thursday, the Department of Justice inspector general announced a new review of how the Justice Department and FBI handled the Hillary Clinton email scandal in the lead-up to November's election.

The probe will look into why FBI Director James Comey decided to make public comments about the Clinton email investigation, and also whether he and the Justice Department followed established protocols.

On "Special Report," Charles Krauthammer said that this review - along with allegations about Russian meddling in the election - are how Democrats are attempting to "diminish" President-elect Donald Trump.
